Skill Scanner

yes, that's always a possibility of course. also, in case the site is down for whatever reason, you can do the same; save the pictures in bmp to your desktop, and process them later, out of EU.

hmm, that would be really, really strange. i'm aware of interactions between PEAss or Autoscreen with the Skill Scanner, due to the way the windows clipboard works.
but i've never noticed anything strange in the communication with the server (except isolated issues when the site has problems, obviously), and never related to the fact that you are running EU at the same time, or not.

i'll keep an eye on it, thou.

tried again without PEass turned on and skill scanner worked perfect again.

donno if its related or not.

To support that: I run on Win 2k SP5, OpenOffice 2.4 Quickstarter running, FRAPS as well. If autoscreen interacts, maybe FRAPS does as well? Don't worry too much about me though, I'm getting along nicely with this great tool

Just a quick question, not sure if its been asked/answered yet as i didn't read ALL 43 pages I had been using Skill Scanner for awhile and trusted its Net Value was correct. Recently i added it all up then manually calculated the tt value and auction value. Was nearly 2x the net value. So...well i guess thats my question...

Auction value is not net value. Net value subtracts the estimated cost of the esi's you would need to buy to chip all of your skills out.

exactly, net value considers cost of ESIs, _and_ the 10% chip-out loss.
this applies to the total net value of your avatar, and also to the incremental net value shown in the 'progress' tab.

So net value is really auction value -10% and the esi, 900-1000%? Sorry never really put the time into figuring out the math involved here, dont plan on chipping out any time soon

I never plan to chip out anything, but this sure does add a nice dimension to skilling.
+rep for sure

hmmm, no idea what could be the problem.
it works ok for me, i have not released any new version, and i have not touched anything server side
are you using the same gamma setting as always? have you applied java patches and/or windows patches lately?

also, i don't know if you're using peass and/or autoscreen, but it's a known issue that these applications don't get along very well with the skill scanner. if you're using them, try shutting them down first, and try again.
